Hyderabadi Mutton Biriyani is one of my most favorite biriyani recipes from Hyderabadi Cuisine. This biriyani is a dum style of preparation, that goes perfect with raitha, and I love making this biriyani all the time. This is a lamb biriyani and you can also call it gosht biriyani as termed in Urdu. This is an authentic style of preparing Hyderabadi Mutton Biriyani that is tasty and very flavorful too. Dum method is the style of cooking mutton pieces only with the steam produced inside the cooking pot. The success to making Hyderabadi Mutton Biriyani or any biriyani dish is opting for tender meat and cooking in the most appropriate heat. Overcooking and cooking in high heat tends to make the mutton hard. Mutton pieces need to be marinated well preferably overnight with yogurt, oil and other spicy aromatic ingredients. You can also prick the mutton pieces with a fork before applying the marinade. The spicy mixture sinks deep into the flesh. Refrigerate the mutton pieces for best results.
Hyderabadi Mutton Biriyani is unique and special with the amazing blend of crushed fried onions. Onions need to sliced very thin and fried in oil to a crispy golden brown texture. Make sure that the onions do not get burnt. Hyderabadi Mutton Biriyani is an awesome blend of rice, spices and mutton and cooking the dish only with the steam obtained from inside grants a real good flavor and taste. Mutton not cooked before and preparing only through ‘dum’ is a wonderful way for preparing biriyanis with the traditional authentic flavor. Hyderabad is a city well known for its exquisite biriyani dishes. This is a wholesome and very nutritious dish with the richness of protein and other vital nutrients required for body. You can discover a well illustrated Hyderabadi Mutton Biriyani recipe here that can be easily prepared at home.

i tried this recipe twice but the result turned below my expectation what to tell i never though it would let me down so much
Recepie Detail is not furnished clearly.
i`m really disappointed with this receipe..with lot of expectation i made this curry and it turned out sooooooo horrible that i cant even think….i dont knw why it came like that….is it necessary to cook the mutton before marinating it…???anyway hopelesssssss really i mean it…
Well i was disappointed with it……What i felt was that the mint leaves spoiled the entire thing………I suggest not to use it…..Otherwise I think it would have turned out good.
keep the vessel on top of a tawa so that it doesnt burn on down.And seal the lid of the vessel with some dough or wet duster leaving some space at one end.When steam comes out of the hole.it is underdtood that biriyani is done.
wat i think is all u hindu poofter dicks should lean some english then try talkin kk
Itz a beautiful recipe.Itz a must try.2day `m going 2 try it on chicken.
